Vintage 1940s Lone Star Quilt – Red, White & Blue – Exquisite Hand Quilting – 78” x 78”

This beautiful vintage Lone Star quilt, dating to the 1940s–1950s, features a dramatic eight-pointed star in brilliant red, royal blue, and white. The intricate central star radiates outward in carefully arranged rows of diamond-shaped pieces, creating an impressive geometric design.

Four smaller eight-pointed stars occupy the corners, while additional partial star motifs decorate the surrounding white background. Two opposing sides are finished with narrow red and blue striped borders, providing a distinctive finishing detail.

The workmanship is exceptional. The quilt features beautiful, closely spaced hand quilting, including extensive outline quilting around the individual diamonds and stars, diagonal quilting throughout the white background, and additional decorative quilting motifs. The elaborate stitching is particularly evident on the reverse, reflecting the remarkable amount of time and skill invested in its construction.

The back is white cotton as is the binding that has been machine stitched to the front and handstitched to the back. The cotton batting is lightweight.
